Hey all,

This week was pretty good. Laura is doing great. About a week and a half ago we gave her a priesthood blessing to help her with the word of wisdom. Since then she hasn't had any problems. She always talks about how excited she is to be baptized and she constantly bears her testimony of the Restored gospel.
Well, we got transfer calls yesterday, I am staying in Melbourne! Today is the first day of my 5th transfer and I'm still in my 1st area. My companion is being transferred, crazy that he was only here for one transfer. Well, it is safe to say that I am really happy to be staying in Melbourne. I love this ward and I love the people here. It is definitely a hard area but I love it. It's starting to warm up and get super humid. There's mosquitos everywhere. It stinks haha.
Elder Valdez was just called to be the new AP. We were all really shocked because he only has 2 transfers left. So the AP's are Elder Hillebrant and Elder Valdez. Two of my most favorite people ever. They will be awesome. Elder Bergman is being transferred out and Elder Su'a is staying. I love this district.
Right now we are just continuing to try to invite 25 people a day. Laura is doing really good but the rest is pretty slow. Anyway, I have to get going, but I'm glad that I am here, and I'm glad for this experience I'm having. I'm nervous and excited to see who my next companion is. I hope we can have a really successful transfer. Hope you all have a great week! Love you all :)

 Thanks for the new tie :)

 Hey guess what time it is? "It's time for Dodger baseball!" Wooooooo!

 

Yeah, he loved me that much. It was probably a good thing we got seperated.. ha

 

This is Laura. She went to a Why I Believe fireside up by the temple. Since she was going I got to go. It was great.

 I think I was yawning?
